I booked a premier inn on 20/04/14 (first day they became available) and for 2 rooms for 2 nights in Newhaven in will cost just under £300. I could have gone this weekend and it would have been half the price. Supply and demand I guess.

Lots of questions I am afraid and I am hoping that somebody might be able to help.

I have never run Brighton before and we are staying in Newhaven the night before. The earliest train we can get to Brighton on the morning will arrive at 8:34 and then we have a 10 min walk to Preston Park, do you think this will give us enough time to get into our pen? I know it starts at 9am will they let us in to the pen at 8:45-8:50 or do they shut them off at a certain time?

Well, everything was fine today, can't say I enjoyed the run because I had concerns all the way round, not because there was anything wrong just because it was still so fresh in my head.

I think I need to really make a decision as to whether or not I want to run Brighton at 12.5 miles I had decided that I didn't want to go to Brighton because of the concerns I had today but reflecting on it 2 hours later, I think maybe I should and just run slower than I would have planned.

I ran with my HRM on today but I not sure if this help or made it worse as it is not something I normally use.

I have the training in my legs to run Brighton so I think I might just taper as per plan.

Thanks numbersix, went for a run yesterday morning and I am still here to tell the tale. To be honest it is playing on my mind but I know that exercise and especially running is the only thing that clears my head and relieves the stresses of work. I have a half marathon on Saturday and I think I am going to go, run and enjoy it but I might slow up a bit just for this one.

Thank you all for your replies. I am going to go out this morning for a run with a friend and make the most of some time away from work. I am actually looking forward to going this morning but thought running with someone else would give me a bit of reassurance. Will let you all know how I go.
